Kategorie: Polarizing Beamsplitter Plate
Key Features
- Coating and Material: Polarizing plate beamsplitters often have hard coatings on the front surface for higher damage thresholds and are made from materials like UV fused silica. These coatings are crucial for achieving high extinction ratios and minimizing reflections.
- Extinction Ratio: This is a measure of the beamsplitter's ability to separate s- and p-polarized light. High extinction ratios, such as >1000:1, indicate superior performance in polarization separation
- Transmission Efficiency: Typically, these beamsplitters transmit more than 95% of p-polarized light while reflecting s-polarized light

Polarizing Beamsplitter Plates
Functionality: These beamsplitters are designed to separate light based on its polarization state. They reflect s-polarized light and transmit p-polarized light, effectively acting as a polarizer.
-
Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter Plates
Functionality: Designed to split light into two beams without altering the polarization state. They aim to provide a consistent splitting ratio (e.g., 50/50) regardless of the incident light's polarization.
